We don't agree on several things. But thanks for your Service. Good luck with your future endeavors.





Manchin: I Will Not Seek Re-Election, I Will Fight To Unite The Middle
I know our country isn’t as divided as Washington wants us to believe. We share common values of family, freedom, democracy, dignity and a belief that together we can overcome any challenge.

I am conflicted. He sucks, but kept a lot of crazy **** from getting passed

Hopefully he didn't visit those two brothels that just got busted. I simply thanked him for his service. As much as we like to be critical of them it's not as easy as some probably think the job is.

DOJ makes arrest in prostitution service used by politicians, military​

Charges come from an ongoing investigation that started in 2020 into an interstate prostitution network operating in Massachusetts and Virginia.

Han Lee, 41, James Lee, 68, and Junmyung Lee, 30, all face charges of conspiracy to coerce and entice travel for illegal sexual activity, with possible prison sentences of up to five years, three years of probation, and a fine of up to $250,000.

Officials say the investigation is still ongoing.

That's definitely the target audience for blackmail. Be curious where this ends up. Raise hell it doesn't end up with Epstein client list.


Levy said there were possibly hundreds of clients, including government contractors with security clearances, doctors, lawyers, elected officials, military officers, professors and executives at tech companies.

The investigation into the involvement of sex buyers is active and ongoing," the U.S. Attorney's office said.

"I believe there are potentially hundreds of yet to be identified customers," a Department of Homeland Security special agent wrote in that affidavit.

The agent did not name the customers known to have used the brothels' services, but noted, "I do not do this for purposes of maintaining their anonymity, but instead do so because our investigation into their involvement in prostitution is active and ongoing."


They have the electronic devices with all this information now.


Each website allegedly described a verification process that interested sex buyers undertook to be eligible for appointment bookings — including requiring clients complete a form providing their full names, email address, phone number, employer and reference if they had one," the U.S. Attorney's office said.

he'll run for Gov...

I'm sure the deal has been made.

I don't think so. I think he's done running for office. I'm not saying he's involved in the above. But the list of those not running in 2024 is about to grow.

I've talked to Joe and actually like the guy in a strange way. I do think he is a true West Virginian at heart. But I cannot forgive his voting record and his corruption. No tears shed.

He done ok and I believe at heart he is in the middle. I'd say Democrats tried pushing him to far left and he couldn't go . Hope he runs for 3rd party.

He can't get elected in West Virginia again. He's done. Besides some got him pegged for the WVU President Job so he can bring Rich Rodriguez back.
